Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1244 Create Panic

The common people are right. If you think about it, it’s actually the same thing. If you can’t stop it, you will die. So what is there to be afraid of?Go out and fight the devils!
This is also a side effect of the devil's Baojia system and the reign of terror...

Everything has its two sides, and the Baojia system is no exception.

The reign of terror did make it difficult for the common people to let go of their concerns. Most of the time, they would be timid and afraid to contact the Eighth Route Army or even inform them.

however……

If the terror reaches its extreme and crosses a certain limit, it will turn into another extreme and become the help of the Eighth Route Army.

For example, the Baojia system tied ten households together, and others are still hesitant. One of them helped the Eighth Route Army or even joined the militia. What about the others?
They will feel scared at the first time, panic, or persuade them to stop.

But when they calmed down, they would think: "Since the Baojia system is tied together, and one person joins the Eighth Route Army and all of us are blacklisted by the devils, is there any other way to go?"

So there is nothing to consider, and all are on the side of the Eighth Route Army. Those who have money will contribute money and those who have no money will contribute!

As a result, in just over an hour, the number of militiamen soared to more than 4000, and the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse were all wiped out in an instant, and it was not even enough... There were only more than [-] rifles in the warehouse, including machine guns.

Then I have to pick up rifles and bullets from the devil's corpse pile.

At this time, the forces in the city suddenly reversed from those of the devils... There were more than 1 people in the city, while the devils only had about 8000 left after the previous casualties.

But of course, most of the militiamen in the city have no combat experience, and most of them don't even know how to use a rifle. In terms of combat effectiveness, the devils still have the upper hand.

At this time Lin Fangtaro was a little anxious.

If this continues, siege is not the same as not siege.

Let's attack the city. If the enemy opens a few openings and the imperial army dare not rush in, then how can we attack?Is it necessary to rob the city wall defense line with the Eighth Route Army?How many troops will this consume?

Don't attack the city, is it just to let the Eighth Route Army develop and grow in the city?

Hayashi Yoshitaro thought about besieging rather than attacking.

But as soon as the sky is bright, the air force of the Eighth Route Army will fly to bomb, and the imperial army will have to turn from light to darkness.

Secondly, this is Datong. The railway station and the airport are full of warehouses for storing supplies, including a lot of military rations.

How long will it take to starve them to death if they are besieged but not attacked?

Had the reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army arrived long ago?

Regarding the Eighth Route Army reinforcements, it was Wang Xuexin who organized it.

At this time, from Wang Xuexin's point of view, he and others knew nothing about the situation in Datong.

If there is one thing to know, it is that the devils used the tactic of "encircling three corners" against Datong to launch a fierce attack on Datong from three sides, and let go of the east.

But the east is not really open, there are devils in ambush.

Therefore, intelligence personnel can only learn about the battle situation outside the city and then report it to Wang Xuexin, and have no way of knowing other situations.

After hearing the situation in Datong, Chen Songyong wanted to send reinforcements to Datong immediately but was stopped by Wang Xuexin.

"Since the devils have launched an attack on Datong, they will not be unprepared!" Wang Xuexin analyzed: "The problem with our army's defense line is that it relies too much on the railway line and many positions are very weak. Step into the trap set by the devil!"

This is the weakness of dynamic defense. Although it can concentrate its forces and use mobility to carry out long-distance effective defense, the defense line of hundreds of kilometers along the entire line certainly cannot cover everything. Even some sections of the road may only have a few sentries.

Therefore, the railway seems to be safe on the surface, at least until now there is no warning, but the more it is like this, the more suspicious it is... It is impossible for the devils to let the Eighth Route Army send reinforcements to Datong.

Wang Xuexin guessed that the devils and other troops were already lurking on both sides of the railway in the dark at this time. They did not alert the sentries, and only waited for the Eighth Route Army reinforcements to come up before launching a sudden attack.

This approach is very sensible.

Because there is a saying that "only the invisible enemy is the most terrible".

If the devils had attacked and occupied a certain section of road from the very beginning and interrupted the Eighth Route Army's railway, then the Eighth Route Army would immediately know several pieces of information: how many enemies are there in a certain place, how many troops should be sent to break through, and so on.

However, the devils never launched an attack, but hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity. In this way, the entire line could be hundreds of kilometers away, and it was not easy to find out where the enemy was, especially at night.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin just pointed to a few key parts of the railway and ordered: "Strengthen the defense of several road bridges and a tunnel, temporarily stand still, and wait until dawn!"

"Leader!" Chen Songyong said, "But Datong..."

At this time, based on the information held by the Eighth Route Army, Datong has an independent regiment of 3000 people plus [-] newly surrendered Ningjie [-] and [-] militiamen.

If calculated in this way, the difference in strength between Datong's divisions against the devils is too large, and Ningjie's division is not sure whether they will defect in battle.

However, Wang Xuexin believes in Li Yunlong's ability. He is a commander who can stand alone, and he is also a commander who can make quick decisions when it comes to efficiency. It should not be a big problem to block overnight.

In the daytime, the air force of the Eighth Route Army can play a role, and the pressure will be much less.

Hayashi Yoshitaro on the other end is also anxious about this matter.

Originally, he thought that under his chain plan, let alone overnight, he might easily take Datong in less than an hour, but he didn't expect not only to fail to take it, but to lose troops and generals.

Lin Fangtaro knows very well that if the first battle is lost, the people in the city will be less likely to be in chaos... Their confidence will fluctuate with the situation of the battle. They think that the balance of victory is in favor of the Eighth Route Army, so they will choose to support the Eighth Route Army in the city, so the balance of victory will be It will be more and more inclined to the Eighth Route Army...

"Bastard, you can't go on like this!" Hayashi Yoshitaro said to himself: "The people must be panicked!"

At this time, Hayashi Fangtaro thought that this was the only way to break through Datong.

But how can we make the people panic?

The first thing Hayashi Yoshitaro thought of was gas bombs.

But during this period of time, due to the full-scale war between the imperial army and the recalcitrant army, poison gas bombs were used in large quantities on the front line, and now there are not many remaining.

On the other hand, Hayashi Yoshitaro thinks that gas bombs are not effective in the city.

The reason is that people can easily find wet towels, and they can close the doors and windows to block the gaps in the doors... Datong is relatively cold in winter, and the airtightness of the doors and windows is already very good.

Therefore, the poisonous gas is likely to be blown away by the wind, and it cannot cause much damage to the enemy, and of course it cannot cause panic among the people.

What should I use?

Hayashi Yoshitaro immediately thought of incendiary bombs!
